The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has urged members of opposition parties in Nigeria, particularly the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join the APC so that their sins could be forgiven.

Oshiomhole stated this on Thursday while receiving some members of the PDP into the APC during the presidential campaign rally of the ruling party in Benin, the Edo State capital

His words: “We have some PDP defectors. They are Henry Tenebe Iluobe. Iluobe means I have done something wrong. Yes, once you join the APC, your sins are forgiven.”

He urged the people of the state to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in order to continue to enjoy democratic dividends such as wealth transfer, TraderMoni and favourable agricultural policies.

“Mr. President, your constituency is the Nigeria people who like what you are doing in form of wealth transfer, market money and others. All these show a heart that is committed to our people.

“In 2015 presidential election, Edo State scored 45 per cent because then we were not in control of the Federal Government. But today, we control the local government, state and federal so we should be able to give him more than 60 per cent.

“So vote for President Buhari, a man who is catching thieves for another four years and knows the difference between the PDP’s 16 years of thievery and APC years of progress,” he added.
